Atherstone sits within North Warwickshire Borough Council, which sets its own HMO standards for room sizes, kitchens and bathrooms. Our designs start from those standards, so the layout we price is designed to meet the council's licensing requirements.
Work is carried out by S&K and vetted subcontractors working under S&K's supervision, so you contract with one company for the whole project.

HMO fire safety works for Atherstone landlords
We carry out HMO fire safety works in Atherstone to a written specification taken from the fire risk assessment and the local council's HMO standards. That keeps the work proportionate, because a small two-storey house and a large three-storey one in Atherstone rarely need the same measures.
Typical jobs in Atherstone include fire doors with self-closers, interlinked alarms, emergency lighting and fire stopping of hidden gaps. Every job across Warwickshire ends with commissioning certificates, photos of concealed work and a logbook for routine tests.
- Mains-wired interlinked smoke and heat detection
- Fire stopping around pipes, cables, hatches and cupboards
- Specification taken from the fire risk assessment and council standards
- Fire doors fitted with self-closers, seals and correct gaps
